As I said, the work around that we implemented to fix the issue was to put a rule on the Riverbed to ignore traffic to/from the F5 Outlook RPC VIP. We have since worked with Riverbed on a proper solution:

 

 

All Riverbeds have to be updated to version 6.5.1 or later.

 

MAPI and encryption have to be enabled on the Riverbed.

 

There are some other tuning options that I don't recall but will ask our network guys to list out so I can give a report.

 

 

Here are the other tuning options that need to be done on the Riverbed:

As for the directory disconnects, no I did not solve that yet. It appears to be isolated to Windows 7 clients, or at least Windows 7 clients appear to be more affected than Windows XP clients. Since we don't officially support Windows 7 in the office yet I haven't made it a priority to fix. I am certainly interested though if anyone else has solved that particular issue.
